I hope not, but I detect possible luddite-ism in my psyche...or maybe just echoes of "when I was young, I had to walk five miles to school"
Same here, sufue. At least my experience with audiobooks has been - bleh. The narrator's emotions and voice ruin the point of books, for me. If I want an interpretation of the story, I'd rather watch the movie. It can get really squirrelly when the narrator is speaking for a character of the opposite sex.

Interactivity could be cool for maps, though it would probably be best to just link to an online version...
